The BlackBerry PlayBook may be the underdog of the tablet world, but that doesn’t mean it isn't chock-full of impressive features. An intuitive touch-sensitive frame allows for quick and easy access to apps and essential functions. The Playbook especially excels at multitasking, and is quick to launch apps.

Though it doesn’t come with an essential native email client, contact or calendar apps (annoyingly, you have to sync it with a Blackberry smartphone using BlackBerry's Bridge app), the PlayBook has a visually stunning display, impressive 3-megapixel camera, and a pair of excellent-sounding stereo speakers. For business users who already have a BlackBerry smartphone, this is definitely worth a look.

Here are some highlights of our review of the BlackBerry PlayBook:

“The PlayBook has a sturdy, solid feel to it, with the back of the unit covered in soft, rubbery material that makes it easy to grip the tablet in one hand with confidence. Also on the back face is a 5-megapixel camera that takes impressive-looking still pictures and sharp video up to 1080p. The PlayBook’s camera lacks an LED flash, however, so you’ll have to rely on having adequate ambient light to get decent shots from it.”

“We’re glad we waited a few weeks to tackle our review of the BlackBerry PlayBook, because it afforded us the opportunity to enjoy an almost bug-free tablet that’s fast and has impressive battery life. The PlayBook also impressed us with its ability to play great-looking and remarkable-sounding media, as well as capture gorgeous photos and videos. In these matters, the PlayBook excels.”
